More power to you

So I get a special mailing from my power company.It evaluates three kinds of houses:My houses;Houses like mine:Efficient houses like mine.I don't know what they mean by efficient.It must be the people living in those houses who aren't efficient.Because my house used less energy in a recent month than they did.If you get this kind of mailing or can look at it on your account,Think what you can do about it.From what I hear on the news, most of the time you are leaving rechargers plugged in when you're not even home.For me, the average peak hour of energy use is the run-up to making breakfast.Yeah, I'm really going to skip breakfast. Eating breakfast is a cornerstone of losing that weight.YMMV

Anyway, I have to wonder.The water company raised prices because people are doing such a good job of conserving.What is the power company going to use for an excuse?
